''The main gates of Redwall Abbey are opened at Foremole Zurt and a few members of his crew exit the abbey grounds pushing wheelbarrows filled with bodies of the slain vermin. As soon as they leave, the gates are shut and the guards along the walltop monitor the ditch (as well as the surrounding area) the moles are heading towards''

''The mole crew reaches the ditch and deposit their loads in silence as they go about their grim work. One mole freezes with a digging claw raised to call for the others to remain silent'' "Oi think Oi 'ear summat o'er thurr!" The mole points down the path leading from the abbey, causing the other moles to turn and look

''Walking down the path towards Redwall Abbey is a large, brawny badger wearing a dull yellow tunic with a brown leather belt. He carries no weapons on his person and walks down the path with a certain spring in his step. The mole crew stares at this newcomer, who stops as soon as he approaches the opposite side of the ditch. Beaming brightly, he greets the moles cheerily'' "Hello there!" The badger looks down in the ditch and sees the lifeless bodies of the vermin "Oh dear. What happened here?"

Foremole Zurt shuffles forward and answers the badger, tugging his nose as a greeting "Thurr t'wuz a gurt battle, zurr! Vurmints got in ee abbey an' we'm 'ad ter foight ee villyuns! Et t'wuz orful!"

The badger shakes his striped head sadly and speaks in a low voice "I'm sorry to hear that. Those heartless cowards..." Suddenly, he brightens up once more "I heard you say abbey. Is this the famous Redwall Abbey?"

Foremole Zurt dips his head and smiles "Et serpintly is, zurr!"

The badger gives a broad grin "Would you mind if I visited Redwall?"

Zurt beckons the badger with a paw "Follow us'ns, zurr! Roight thiz way!"
